Information is consumed when assimilated.
It isn't; everyone could watch the same film on the internet, it's not limited in supply, it's not dependent on printing or shipping or factory production line. Once there's enough film for everyone to watch for a lifetime - say 1M hours to cover 24/7 watching for 100 years, what need is there for more film?
What you describe is that people are hungry for novelty. Not more, or better, just newer. Yet there's enough books and films and songs already in existence that we could spend a lifetime exploring and not run out.
How do you balance the claimed 50/50 production/consumption when there's already enough media for everyone's consumption for a lifetime, in libraries, today?
- unnouinceput 7y agoThere is enough porn to watch on PornHub for 70 years only at letter "A". Tell me why porn still makes money then? You missed my point entirely.
- jodrellblank 7y agoYes I don’t understand your point entirely. And I asked you to explain further. There is enough porn to watch on PornHub for 70 years only So you agree with me that media is not consumed, used up, when watched? So where does the 50/50 production/consumption ratio you stated come from when consumption uses 0?
